C# program to a Windows palm desktop

Hello everyone,
Can someone tell me if I need to do anything special when publishing my Visual C# .NET application to make it work on a palm desktop

I am not really sure about it, and so far, not able to test it, it really just have to work, so can anyone tell me what I should look out for to make it work smoothly and perfectly without errors, would all the errors also happen when I try to run the application on my computer

Thanks

    Hi,

    to run programs written in .net on a pc you need to have .net redistributle installed on it. There is no way around that.

    hmm, thats not good....
    cuz for some reason my program just dont want to compile right, i cant publish it without some errors and it wont include that package in the installation file for some reason.... really dont get this, but i am quite new to all this programming, in any language really....

    thanks anyway

    Hi,

    there is no cf available for palm OS. In my opinion you have to rewrite your appliction in order to use palm OS.

    Here is the palm developer portal:

    Bullzhot -
    There are a bunch of smart device development forums where you'll find a lot of information for programming Pocket PC's.

    But yes, you will need the .NET compact framework to run a C# program on a Pocket PC.  To create a new Pocket PC project, if you have Visual Studio 2005, just go to File | New | Project and select the Smart Device node.

    YES! thats the ones... Windows pocket PC's

    ill have a look at it... but if anyone hav found a way to actually get around the whole thing with the .NET framework i would appreciate it.

    i mean, if someone have found a way to use the .NET framework to create a C# program but without needing the .NET framework on the computer or whatever it needs to be installed on, like, stop it from optimizing the program before use, manually optimizing instead of this automatic stuff :)

    thanks

    You mean the Pocket PCs from Microsoft right

    If you want to you need to use the compact framework. I added a link to the mobile & embedded developer center. I think here you should get any information you will need.

    well, sorry... i dont really know what they are called... but i meant palm desktops not using the palm OS system, i meant the ones which have the windows based systems...

    second language english is not always enough... not sure if i can call it a windows based operating system or mainframe or something like that, but i hope this enlightens what i meant in the first place.
